ON THE POSSIBILITY OF SURFACE SUPERFLUIDITY IN PARAHYDROGEN CRYSTALS.

[In Russian. / En russe.]

Type of article: Article

Summary

THIS ARTICLE IS AN ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN THE RECENTLY OBSERVED PHENOMENON OF GRAVITY-INDUCED FLOW OF SOLID PARAHYDROGEN. THE EXPLANATION IS BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT BELOW 3 K THE SURFACE LAYERS OF PARAHYDROGEN ARE SUPERFLUID. THE SURFACE SUPERFLUID PHASE MAY SUPPORT VORTICES. IN THE PRESENCE OF THE VORTICES THE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE CAUSES IN THE SURFACE LAYER A STEADY-STATE FLOW WHOSE VELOCITY DETERMINES THE MASS FLOW.
